Donating to The CROOKED HOUSE

The CROOKED HOUSE is a resolana for the children of parental mental illness. Your donations support transformative storytelling, Public Awareness Campaigns and help us build on the foundation The CROOKED HOUSE has to develop new support and educational programs for us "kids".

. . . in a time of desperate need the crooked house website and Facebook helped me tremendously. Just reading the stories helped me to feel connection. It was so nice to know I was not alone.-R.H., Ohio

Everyman - $25

This donations level is key to helping us stay "in the black". If everyone who visits our website, donated $25, we'd have enough money to fund an entire documentary about the children of mentally ill parents.

Special Occasion - $75

$75 donations help us afford to send out the PSA.

Making the PSA is a fun endeavor. Making the right connections for distribution is an effort. Doing it helps spread the word about the unique and complicated experience of being a child of a mentally ill parent.

Thank you. To those who continue to share your stories - you embolden us all.

"The unavoidable message of this epidemiological and clinical research is that we are taking a huge and unnecessary risk if we skirt our responsibilities as mothers (and fathers) to handle our own depression, addiction, or other mental disorders. . . .Children acquire [their parent's] genes just as they internalize our everyday behaviors.
